lol same with people.

"Given infinite thinking time a finite number of humans will solve all theorems"

I also love the angle that this was not intelligence just brute force. As if the mathematicians didn't reeaaally want to solve this they were just too lazy to give it a good try.

What does AI have to actually do before you realize these things are actually smart?

Machines have a much higher capacity for work than human beings. Saying that these proofs did not require equivelant intelligence, but benefitted from sheer volume, does not strike me as unreasonable.

This isn't necessarily true. There may be proofs so complex, they could exceed the limit of human cognition.
